MORAGA, Calif. — Saint Mary’s left-handed pitcher Johnny York was named the Muscle Milk Student-Athlete of the Week for the week of March 28-April 3 after his first career complete game shutout Saturday helped the Gaels clinch a series victory at rival Santa Clara.
York struck out eight and walked none Saturday as the Saint Mary’s junior left-hander shut down Santa Clara in his first career complete game shutout, leading the Gaels to a 1-0 win at Stephen Schott Stadium.
The game two win clinched the three-game series for Saint Mary’s. It was the Gaels’ first series victory over Santa Clara since 2013 and their first in the South Bay since 2012.
